Moleskine's newest 18 Month Planners are now in stock at JournalingArts.com.

For those of you ready to get started on next year’s planning, Moleskine’s 2010-2010 18-Month Planners are now in stock at journalingarts.com.

New this year are 18-month red weekly planners in both small and large sizes. These planners feature a horizontal planning spread across a two-page spread. This format is different than the black 18-month planners which have a week to view on the left and a ruled page on the right for notes. The 18-Month red Twin Set planner has been discontinued for 2010-2011.

Recently, a customer contacted me to order a Leuchtturm Mini Address Book and shared a notebook hack with me. She told me she uses her Mini Address Book to store all of her online and electronic user IDs and passwords. I loved this idea and decided to organize all of my passwords alphabetically.

The alphabetized sections make it easy to organize with one letter of the alphabet per page. If you need more room, use two Mini Address Books. They are affordable at just $2.99 each and won't break your budget.

The Mini Address Book is about the same size as a credit card so it slides into a card slot in my wallet. It takes me about 3 seconds to access, and I don’t have to worry about data crashing or electronic failures. I currently have all of these details stored in my cell phone/PDA, but it is a real hassle to open the software and search through the database. And what happens if I forget my password to this software?

Moleskine’s 2010-2011, 18-month planners now feature box-style monthly planning calendars inside their weekly planners. This is great news for those of you who detest the lined, vertical monthly calendars in Moleskine’s earlier weekly planners. The new style resembles a wall calendar making it possible to quickly view and understand each month’s scheduling. Thank you, Moleskine, for listening to your customers!

Moleskine's New, 2010-2011, 18-Month, Weekly, Academic Planners now include Box-Style, Monthly Calendars. Gone are the tiny, hard-to-read vertical calendars of previous years. Let's hope all of Moleskine's new planners will have this format.
